We’ll limit our observations to this: Of the contestants sent home tonight, we accurately predicted the demise of two of them (won’t say which ones) and we predicted (privately) the other one would be eliminated next week.
Gone are James Adomian, Laurie Kilmartin and Maronzio Vance.
We predict that we’ll go four-for-four when the dust settles (just not in the exact order we predicted).
BTW: When we predict someone will be out, we do so without any personal enmity. We are totally divorced from emotion or personal preference when we calculate our predictions. We employ cool logic and data scraped from the Twittersphere and other sources. We are rather like the bookmaker who determines the spread and whose business would be ruined were he to make his picks base on any sort of prejudice.
Also: We wondered (aloud… on our blog… in “print”) where the judges were last episode. This week, the judges were restored.
Also: We wondered (aloud… on our blog… in “print”) what the deal was with Craig Robinson and his reluctance to touch the contestants. Hmmm… in tonight’s episode, Robinson quite deliberately clapped a hand on each and every one of the contestants after they completed their performances and awaited “judgment.”
All right… that’s it. We’re not offering another word of analysis of the show (over and above any sort of rudimentary commentary that one might find on any other popular standup comedy website) until we’re put on retainer as consultants to NBC’s Last Comic Standing. It’s about time we parlayed these eleven years of blood and sweat and tears into a paid gig!
